IMDA waives frequency fees for 5G trials

5G trials will be free until December 31, 2019.

Telco operators can now test 5G services in Singapore for free as IMDA waives frequency fees until December 2019.

Minister for Communications and Information Dr Yaacob Ibrahim said this move would lower regulatory barriers and encourage more trials in the industry.

A report from Techgoondu said the authorities are also seeking the public’s views on the use of the airwaves for the next-generation mobile technology with a set of consultations kicking off today.

Without the waiver, telcos would have had to pay frequency fees of $11,200 a year, according to the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).
